The Mediation Process
THE IMPORTANCE OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESSES
Winston Churchill, while Prime Minister of England, said:
It is better to jaw-jaw, than to war-war.War does not work.
War especially does not work to solve problems within a state or
community.
The world itself is now becoming a village. Electronic communication
is shrinking the world and makes us all more interdependent.
Globalization of economies and internationalization of corporations
and investments brings us all into greater contact with each
other. Technology, such as television, mobile phones, and the
internet has unleashed forces never before seen in history of man.View the entire The Mediation Process Lecture.

English for Lawyers
Robert A. Creo has taught English for Lawyers at the University of Pittsburgh, School of Law. The course focuses on preparing the student for the study of the American legal system in a United States law school. Students learn to use English in a legal context, and become better prepared for class discussions and assignments in American LL.M. programs. The University of Pittsburgh is one of very few law schools in the United States to offer this type of comprehensive introduction to legal English and American legal education.

In the summer of 2003, Mr. Creo served as a mentor to Milena Petrovic from Serbia. Also, in the fall of 2003 he served as a mentor to Eva Col Debella from Brazil.
